Fence Posts and Sombreros

We left Rangeley early and headed to Dixmont, Maine to pick up 30 fence posts from a very nice man in a very old barn.  But at more than $600 savings - we were happy to travel through the back roads of Maine.  Beautiful farms, barely any traffic and a gorgeous day made the extra miles almost painless.


After 8 hours on the road we made a quick drop off at Megan and TJs - new nursery curtains hung and Fenway back with his pal Annie.



Then dinner at Bandidos.  Scott and Rebecca were able to join us and while I enjoyed my fish tacos...
                                
                                        Paul enjoyed his taco salad.

And because Scott gave us grief over the bill, I mentioned his birthday to the waitress.  (His birthday is Friday.)  So - he had to wear the sombrero and listen to the staff sing Happy Birthday in Spanish!
    
                        
                                                Pablo (Paul) also had to wear a sombrero!

Life lesson - don't argue with your parents over the bill!

Word of the day - zingy.  Meaning spicy, sharp and pleasantly stimulating to the mind or senses.

Newlyweds

 I am so, so happy for these guys!   Love you all!  The photos capture the happiness and love perfectly!  And that kid - how adorable and enchanting and priceless!  A simple ceremony in Maine including snow - doesn't get much better than that! Meanwhile Paul and I are still at the marina dock.  Last night I mentioned breaking the washing machine.  Then I thought I broke the toilet (or forgot how to use a marine toilet).  Turns out the water pump died causing the washer to become confused and the toilet not to fill properly.  Ugh.  We have a foot pump for water at the kitchen sink so we made do last night and then went to bed. This morning Paul switched out the pump for the spare we had on board.  Another spare has been ordered and we will grab from Marc's when we get to Palm Beach. (Thank you Marc for being our Amazon drop!) I managed a couple batches laundry and tried to dry some outside but despite being super windy, everythi...

Getting Real (Close)

Image
 It's getting close.  All the planning.  All the decision making.  Tonight was the beginning of the celebration of Kevin and Isis. The venue is beautiful.     The rehearsal went well.   Isis - super focused.  Kevin and Dan - watching butterflies. Everything will go smoothly and everyone will remember where they are supposed to be and when. And we all know that only the bride is the focus unless something extraordinary occurs (Fall, fainting, vomiting).   Isis has assigned us all tasks.  Love it!  I get to be the family wrangler!!!  Perfect!  Thank you! Dinner at Avellino - supreme.  From the appetizers to the main course (best vegan dish ever!), and to the chocolate tort - everything was perfectly yummy.  The service - outstanding.  Great choice kids!   So many smiling, happy people.  Blessed.
